Abstract

Russia is well known for the systemic corruption that characterises its society, politics and
institutions. But this may be about to change. Mark Galeotti argues that as Russia moves
on from its period of post-Soviet state-rebuilding, the sheer costs of corruption and pressure
from Russia’s new middle classes may force the government to take tougher action.
